TB357,

Have you heard if Claire Peace is done with recruiting visits or planning to announce her college choice soon?

So. I attended the intersquad yesterday (3rd this year so far).

Team is looking really good for this time of year. Transfers Courtney B. and Maddie U are going to fill holes left by seniors leaving CB on vault and bars, MU could find her way into All Around. Emily Innes working into beam and floor events

Freshman Nina Ballou is looking great on floor and beam, but also works AA. Haley Mustari is looking great on bars. Her form and toe point is outstanding. Elyse W not training in intersquad right now, not sure of status, possibly injury, but she is in the gym. Molly B training floor and bars.

Looks like Alexis Jeffrey is back on bars, doing routines, but still taking it a bit easy as she recovers. Chase is training, but not 100% back but hopefully soon.

Other returns, Chio is exactly who she was last year for AA. Its almost more surprising when she doesn't stick. I swear when she stares down the vault runway she has the physics just running through her brain and executes it.

Connor M looking great working the double full on Vault. She just so pretty swing bars and just ellegent on beam. Floor dbl layout is just magnificent.

Amari D remains strong on leg events and is working to make beam lineup.

Kaliya L strong on floor, her tumbling is so high it's incredible. Also working vault.

Ashley C is just as consistent as ever on bars. Double layout dismount is just as great as always, straight as a board, then bam, she lands it.

Kylie C working floor and beam again and should provide solid routines their. You can also tell she's a leader on the floor.

Tori T. working to get back into the bars lineup and is looking good there.

Lexi Z is also training AA looking good on bars and Vault but working toward making other lineups as well.

Victoria R is improved on vault. It has more amplitude than last year, also working hard to get on beam

Lea M working floor and Vault and could provide solid depth.

Kathryn W. working all 4 events. I hope she can make a few lineups on this loaded team.

Overall floor and bars look season ready. Vault looks good, but as we all know landings will be crucial.

Beam coaches will have 9 or so routines to refine and make decisions on.

I have to say though, depth shoukd not be a problem for our Tigers

Just hasn't been much chatter on the thread lately, so I thought I do a "1 man's opinion.

Just my thoughts if you want them.

I heard Pease would visit Florida at some point. Don’t have a timeline exactly. She likely will not make campus for anyone until 2028

Believe Elysse is still recovering from concussion injuries she had been dealing with on and off at JO level


Hope she is healthy soon. But obviously safety is a big thing in this situation

Realistically also for next year, we look at only losing 3 or 4 contributing routines. Cowan on bars, and maybe 1 or 2 if Jeff or Chase get healthy. Then 2 from Courtney B

I think Emily Innes will be a contributor on beam and maybe floor. Does she have any more eligibility next year?

I don’t know if it’s just me but PEASE looks physically uncomfortable in her official visit photos at every school except for LSU

Also watched the intersquad on Friday- and was incredibly impressed with the amount of depth on this LSU team. They truly don't have a week event-

Vault was stacked with 10.0 Start values:

Konnor, Lex, Courtney, Madi, Molly, Amari, Kailin, Victoria, Nina, Innes, (Chase when feeling better), Kaliya-- and Leah/Kathryn will over good depth there as well, including Wenner if she starts to feel better.

Bars has several routines of fantastic quality: Mustari, Cowan, Madi, Kailin, Courtney, Konnor, Lex, Jeff, Nina, Tori, Kathryn, Victoria etc....several options.

Beam--same thing, there were about 9 routines with lineup potential- Madi, Nina, Lexi, Konnor, Kailin, Amari, Emily, Kylie, Mustari, Kathryn, Vic, and Molly all showed great beam routines-It will be fun to see who fills the empty lineup spots.

Floor- Again- a ton of depth. Nina, Madi, Konnor, Kaliya, Amari, Kailin, Leah, Emily, Molly, Kathryn, Lexi, Kylie, Kathryn (If Courtney did a flopr routine I missed it)...regardless sooo much depth.

Once Zoe and Chase are fully back that could shake up things even more. :) Excited to see where this team goes! Chemistry is great and there is certainly a healthy amount of competition for lineups. :)

This sounds great! Thanks for sharing GeauxTigerss. It looks like we have a troll "down voting" everyone's posts when a true Tiger Fan would be upvoting the good news! Trolls are rampant on LSU Forums.

LINK

An informative article on some changes being made to NCAA policies (NQS, neutral sites, and the number of girls allowed to be on the floor for postseason), if anyone is interested.

This rule will already affect Utah this year. They compete in Sprouts and best of Utah at the Maverick Center. Only 1 can be counted as away. So 1 will be counted as a home meets. Then Big 12's are also at the Maverick Center and would be a 6th away score.

It will also negate the over inflated Senior night scores. Also, Florida's constant home overscoring will have less effect

She just committed to Utah. Bummed we lost 2 recruits to them, ESPECIALLY Pease, but at least it wasn’t OU or Florida like most of the gymternet wanted thought

Pease would have been icing on top but she wasn’t a need tbh


LSU overachieved this class and then some with what they put together.


Congrats to Utah! OU ironically having a class similar to LSU last season coming off the natty

This actually make me wonder if she's transferring. Like the comment "proud no matter what"

But there's no telling with college age kids and Social media
